Penelope was a lovely white budgie. My husband and I had
her, along with Theodore, for 7+ years. This probably put
her at age 8 or so today, when she was euthanized. It was so
hard, she was such a feisty girl, we used to joke about her
"piercing black eyes". She took sick last Thursday, and this
morning the bird vet said there was nothing we could do for
her except help her to pass on, as she was just hanging on
but barely and in a lot of pain. It was so very sad, saying
goodbye to a little girl who we really loved and cared for.
I am thankful for all she gave us, we just adored her. Of
course, we still have Theodore, who seems heartbroken
himself. We will take good care of him and try to help him
not be lonely. Sleep well, Peneller, we love you.
